As in, the last track is a reprise of the first track, or just references the first track in some way. I like when albums do this. Feels album-y.

Examples:

British Sea Power - Do You Like Rock Music? (All In It / We Close Our Eyes)
A Hawk & A Hacksaw - The Way The Wind Blows (In The River / There Is A River In Galisteo)
R.E.M. - Collapse Into Now (Discoverer / Blue)
Gil Scott-Heron - I'm New Here (On Coming From A Broken Home Pt.1 / On Coming From A Broken Home Pt.2)
LCD Soundsystem - This Is Happening (Dance Yrself Clean / Home)

First word on the album is 'hello', last is 'goodbye'. Does that count?

The first time I listened to B&S' 'The Life Pursuit' I got frustrated because Act of the Apostle Part 2 is such an obvious album closer and closure of the story in the first track that it seemed stupid to have it third from the end. Stupid! I'm angry about it all over again.

I haven't got my copy to hand, but the album's run time is about 55 minutes and there's only actually about half an hour of music. The last track plays out, then you listen to the album rewinding before (I think, track one starts again).

kind of does this, and that track title's a palindrome too. So, not an album per se, but it is two sides of vinyl. The various guitars introduce themselves in order, which is reversed on side 2 as they fade out.

It's a bit far-fetched, but it begins with a piano version of It Was There That I Saw You and ends with a string composition of How Near, How Far's bridge. Same key/effect, same feedback/ambience over all. It gives it closure at the least.

but Girl Talk - Feed The Animals - i love the way the first track starts with the beginning of Pimp C's verse in International Players Anthem and the last track finishes with the end of Andre 3000's verse that directly preceded it.
